This is really a monumental societal change.

3rd spaces are nearly completely destroyed, and online seems to be the main option for ppl now.

In 2010 did people meet through their online friends?

Kind of. Dating apps didnt exist yet (or didnt have large userbases). Met my spouse online in ~2008, through online friends (gaming).

Meet = tinder date. Which means you have to look good or not get the chance to meet a woman at all.

I met my partner at the dog park. I had just moved back to the city and she had just started taking her puppy to the park. My dog is 8 years older than her dog.

We didn't know until months later but she started going at the same time so she would see me and I was going at the same time so I would see her. We've been together for nearly 9 years.

Some third spaces are very specialized for certain activities but that is a bonus because something like a dog park means you already have common interest.
